The Knickerbocker foe November is published. We
copy an entertaining paper, entitled "Chronicles of
the Past," a passage or two concerning the, hardy far
mers in New Hampshire:.—
LENGTH or LIFE IN N. 11.—In some recent statis
tics (which have been carefully taken, and which, upon
their completion, will be given to the world) it has
been ascertained that the average length of human life
is thirteen per cent greater in the mountain districts
of New Hampshire than it in upon the seaboard coun
try of Massachusetts, or Maine; fourteen per cent
greater than in New York or Pennsylvania; and seven
teen per cent greater than in Virginia; and thirty-two
per cent greater than any other stale south of the par
allel of thirty-five degrees.
This extreme old age, to which the agriculturists of
New Hampshire attain is perceptible to the most casual
observer. Over the whole country we have described,
evidences of the truth of this force themselves upon
the attention wherever he goes. The old man of seven
ty-five years still mows his swath in the slimmer, and
bends his sickle in the autumn, with the elastic vigor of
prime manhood. The barn rings with the heavy stroke
of the flail, swung in alternate succession by the veter
an and his grandson. The cozy couple who could tell
you stories of their own experience in Revolutionary
days. ride each Sabbath morning, side by side, upon a
pillioned saddle, to the house of God. The simple
head stones in the church yard, also, though they may
often record the premature decay of some bright blos
WIN of the social circle, more frequently point out the
resting places of those who were gathered to their
graves like the shock of corn that cemeth in its season.
In the town of AI oultenburough, fur example, where
the population Scarcely reaches to thirteen hundred
souls, no less than the number of forty-four persons have
died since 1833, whose average ages were 98 years.
Of these forty-four, twenty-six had exceeded a century;
and the youngest of the band was cut off at the prem
ature age of 87. "Think of that, Master Brook !" But
the oldest of the groirp--he was for many years the
banner veteran of our worthies, and whose memory,
we opine, will still be foremost for many years to come
—he, our hearty Scotchman, whose monument rises by
the churchyard gate—he, unshrinking, undismayed.
stood under the accumulated weight of siz-score.aa4-
seren fall told years.
Brave old Donald McNaughton ! Thrice honored
be thy memory ! Year after year dirlst thou live on,
in thy very greenness of decrepitude.
Habits of MeNaughton.—Commencing life a 'pair
bairn,' (to use his own phrase, though at the time to
which he alluded he must well nigh have completed
his fiftieth year.) by unremitted industry and Maki
economy he amassed a fortune, remarkable in a new
and unproductive country. Up to his one-hundredth
year be labored daily in the field, and his best work
men could seldom surpass him in the amount of labor.
Even as that ag e it was not decrepitude of years, bus
of an accidenta injur7,,-, which laid the old man by; cad
to the very day of his confinement, which preceded his
death but a single week, he personally superintended
all the business of his homestead. At the distant
market town in the coldest winter weather; at doe
polls on every day of election through the "sleety drip
ple" and miry roads of earliest spring; at church and
at funeral, auction sale and county gathering, he was
ever the foremost man. Indeed in all matters. whether
of church or state. public or private, he prided him
self upon his superior sagacity and not without reason
Shrewd, careful, farsighted, firm in the tenacity with
which he held, and cool in the manner with which be
expressed his opinions, he retained ever three gener
ations the undisputed sway of a superior man.
The secret of the great age to which he attained
was in contravention of ail the principles of dietetics.
No man was ever more imprudent in his diet, or in
his exposure to the weather. He was, however, ha
bitually cheerful—a consequence rather than a cause . of
his continual healthfulness; and no war worn hero e'er
better loved, by the fireside of the wintry night, or en
der the shade of his broad roof tree, "to count his .
scars, and tell what deeds were done," than did old
Scotch Donald.
ANECDOTE OF MCNA 05.-1 remember a p- d
larone day riding up to his door, the pour beast he
bestrode being laden from shoulder to haunch with
the variety of wares which he had to .lisposc of. Great
ly to our surprise, old Donald met him at the door
a is h a cheerful gt eeting, far we well knew that pedlars
were his utter a_bomination, and, offering him a chair,
inquired what he had to sell. "Oh, everything, sir,
everything," replied he of the packs; "ribbons, silks,
calicoes, combs, thimbles, needles, scissors, gloves,
belts, sewing silk—everything, sir; everything! What
will you haver 'Got any grindstones?" asked the
old man. "Oh no, sir, I came a horseback. "Alt, I
thought you came afoot!" was the reply, uttered in
a tone and manner that sent the poor hawker out as

FIRE AND LOSS OF THREE LIVES.

efforts to extlicate these unfortunate victims proved i
